"The jobs can be picking up limbs to nailing shingles," Pastor Matthew White said prior to the cleanup. "We'll do whatever the person at the door needs."

Volunteers met at the church, located at 10061 Road 614, at 8 a.m. and went door-to-door and asked residents if they needed any help.

The volunteers also prayed with residents and gave away pound cakes. The cakes were labeled, "A pound of love from Longino Baptist Church." The cakes were baked and purchased by members of the church.

"Our job is to spend time offering spiritual as well as physical help," said White.

Volunteers brought anything that could be useful to help out.

The church also provided sandwiches, chips and drinks to volunteers and residents.

The Salvation Army set up a feeding unit at Coy Methodist Church off Mississippi 21 north at the county line in the near the hardest hit area.

The Rev. Ron Lloyd Schwake, pastor of the Coy church were more than half of the 90 members had damage to their homes, said one of the biggest concerns tornado victims have at the present time is debris removal.

The church is helping the Salvation Army provide hot lunches and dinners to Neshoba and Kemper County residents who sustained property damage during the storm, as well as emergency responders who are working to repair the damage.

They served more than 300 on Thursday.

Meanwhile, officials from the National Weather Service were in Neshoba and Kemper counties Friday afternoon assessing the 13.6 miles of destruction the tornado left in its path.

The tornado that touched down in Northwest Philadelphia about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday caused extensive damage to Northside Park and then tore through the Longino and North Bend communities in rural Neshoba County before moving through Coy and into Kemper County.
